Why does this give a segmentation fault?
- by nightcracker
I'm stunned, why does this code give me a segmentation fault?
#include <stdio.h>
#define LIMIT 1500000
typedef struct {
int p;
int a;
int b;
} triplet;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int i;
triplet triplets[LIMIT];
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
triplets[i].p = 9; // remove this line and everything works fine
}
printf("%d\n", triplets[15].p);
return 0;
}
EDIT: After changing LIMIT to 150 I no longer get a segmentation fault, it prints random numbers instead.
